Another paleo baby: sick only once in her life – but dietitian freaks out
So what’s to worry about? Plenty, apparently, as a dietitian warns of a lack of grains leading to an “unbalanced” diet. It’s unclear what “unbalanced” means, as it has no scientific definition. But it probably refers to a diet that does not match the dietitian’s dietary beliefs.
Scientifically or evolutionarily there’s no clear need for grains in the diet.
As a sidenote we give our two daughters – 1 and 4 years old – a very similar start in life, with similar foods and some breastfeeding for almost two years. The kids are almost never sick, apart from the occasional cold with very mild symptoms.
I can’t even remember when the oldest daughter had a real fever last time, must be more than a year ago. And the youngest, well I don’t think she’s ever had a high fever.

I just... That´s just so STUPID.
"But she said 'helps a lot' that Ms Cooper is breastfeeding her child. That makes up for a lack of dairy"
O, dear me. That´s REALLY stupid also. Since lactose intolerance is actually more the rule than the exception, except maybe in the nothern european decendants (around 5% lactose intolerant there) that Dr Stanton looks like she stems from. (As do I and I´m glad since I do love my dairy products)
The rest of the world, like big chunks of Africa and Asia, suffers from acute dairy deprivation since the prevalence goes up to a whopping 90% in some areas..
Dr. STanton should rest assured that Ms. Cooper knows a lot more than Dr. Stanton about nutrition. Geez! The stupidity and hubris of dietitians of Dr. Stanton's ilk is blinding!

Potatoes? Sweet potatoes? OMG, that breakfast is FULL of carbs!
He's had a couple of colds but recovered remarkably quickly, and on those occasions besides a runny nose he's not been phased in the slightest. He's never had an infection or any cause for antibiotics, and he's never had fever. Most people don't believe his diet plays a role and think he's just lucky, but we know better ?
Cognitive dissonance much?

My doctor says the lchf has carbs and he's right. Low carb is a misnomer as vegetables are rich in carbs. It's the glycemic index that matters.
